FREDERICTON, March ‘I —(CP) _csnsda needs s strong central ‘Qt/Qfllmint, Hon. C. H. Blakeny, Minister of Education and Federal

' and Municipal Affairs, said in th!

address debate in the New Bruns- wick Legislature toda . (Yesterday, Oppos tlon leader

_ Hugh Mackay criticized centraliza-

tion of power at Ottawa and "se- crecy" about the Dominion-Pro- vincial conference.)

Referring to the conference, Mr. glskeny said that "lf Canada is to

. become a great nation, taking a needing role in international af-

fairs, then every component part of government must be strong and the central government must have tL: power and the authority to gpeflk for a united Canada.

"We must abandon ideas of

“narrow provlnclalism and seek our

destiny as a united nation. ‘That is the spirit that is dominating the conference."

He said the opposition should have no mlsglvlns about New

ters because the governm nt's

The opposition leader's address had been “replete with pessimism. hopelessness, discouragement. des- pair and defeat.”

Mr. Blakeny expressed confid- ence that the result of the Domin- UiH-PFOVlYIClBI Conference would

The other. speaker in the debate today was G. W. Perry (PC-Carle- innr who said that figures of liquor consumption in New Brunswick were alarming".

“When 450. people spend

I more than all. .000 on liouor in

a single year, that makes a

' staggering figure. Liquor is a

curse to the ‘earth, and just what sre we going to do about it?" ‘ .__._.__t
